Etymology of DAMASCENE

The word "damascene" has its origins in the Latin language. It comes from the Late Latin term "Damascenus", which means "of Damascus". Damascus is the capital city of present-day Syria and has a long history of metalworking and producing intricate designs in steel, known as damascening. The term was later adopted into Old French as "damascener" and then entered Middle English as "damaskeen". Over time, "damascene" has come to refer to both the city of Damascus and the art of damascening.
